Gizmo Watch
One of my sons and also one of my daughters has a "gizmo sports watch" that they both wear. These watches can tell you a whole big bunch of stats about health and fitness.... things like heart rate, oxygen levels, and other things like that. It also can map and measure exercise.
I wear (and always have worn) a traditional watch. Of the several I have, the vast majority are traditional, analog face watches, with one being a digital number's watch. As I am a penny pincher, none of my watches were ever expensive (I take that back, my parents gave me one extremely beautiful watch when I earned my Ph.D., all those decades ago, that was and is an expensive watch, but I cannot consider that one.).
"Gizmo Sports Watches" are pretty damn expensive. But, I have to admit, it would be really nice to have a watch map and measure my running.
I am going to think about it a bit. I probably WILL NOT ever get one..... too damn expensive.... but they do intrigue me a bit. I guess I can think for a while, anyhow, as I am running indoors on a track at least until sometime in March.

There are several very capable "gizmo sports watches" that cost less than a very nice pipe. Now that you are presumably not expanding your pipe collection, maybe you can redirect some of that savings toward a nice sports watch?
Treat yourself.

Yeah, there are probably a few gizmo watches that are less expensive than a nice pipe... but a pipe is ART and is beautiful.
My pipe collection is pretty large after all those years already. But, I do admit that I look at beautiful pipes on a variety of websites quite regularly.
I tend to think I am too much of a penny-pincher to buy either a "gizmo watch" or a beautiful pipe.

I think about it, but I probably will not do so.

I have had two different fitness watches. Both stopped working quite quickly. One was expensive (for me), the other less so. If you are running five miles a day then it nay be worth investing in one for the various info it gives you.
